Hi. Im using Win 7, FF 39, and FB. When I first load FB using FF, the mouse doesnt show as a spinning circle. (ie busy doing something) The second I click on a picture,video or simply anything, I get the spinning circle. Like its trying to do something. But its not. The page loads fine and I can click on anything. This does not happen when I use FF and visit other pages on the net. I have tried every one of the fixes people have suggested on other areas here. Please help me.
